Many would think one wedding was enough, but when you’re Melbourne’s richest family, you cross continents to get married twice.

Which is exactly what billionaire heiress Bella Geminder, 26, has done, marrying her, um, husband Jose Falk on the picturesque cliffs of Ravello, Italy in lavish three-day nuptials this week.

The granddaughter of late Visy cardboard king Richard Pratt, tied the knot again and just months after saying “I do” in front of 500-odd guests in a traditional Jewish ceremony followed by a black tie reception at her family’s Raheen Kew estate in February.

This week it was living La Dolce Vita-themed heaven for high-society guests and the Pratt dynasty, with sisters, Sammy and Georgia Danos and packaging magnate parents Fiona and Raffy Geminder all in attendance and dancing on the Amalfi Coast.

A family affair, aunt Heloise Pratt and rocker boyfriend Jon Stevens were in toe along with close friends with richlister surnames such as Smorgon, Fox and Gandel.

Wearing a stunning white plunging ivory gown, the couple looked blissfully happy and beaming during the daytime nuptials, later dancing into the night to a live band.

Melbourne fashion guru – and everyone’s favourite wedding guest – Chris Kontos was living it up, along with style queens Sarah and Holly Lucas, wife and daughter of hospo king Chris Lucas as they soak up the European sun.

A private dinner was held the night before the lavish nuptials, with guests later hitting the beach to recover the following day – la vita e bella!

Because why have one wedding, when you can go down the aisle twice?
